The streets were very quiet for a change and as she crossed the tram tracks the heel of her shoe became stuck. She put down her briefcase and finally managed to struggle free and continue on. By the time Sue got to her destination the sweat was dripping from her face. What did Sue grab as she left? (Literal) How do you think Sue got to her destination? (Inferential)
